Hello Matthew--
We use NAS units here to back up our digital collection and other vital
data in triplicate; it gives us a little over 7 TB of storage. Since the
implementation of this system in 2011, we've used a little less than half
the capacity. Backups occur daily, weekly, and biweekly among
Hi all,
I'm looking for people from non-art museums who have recently bought or
considered buying a DAMS. Anyone willing to share details on their
experiences, both in terms of how they internally decided their requirements

We rolled out our ResourceSpace open source DAMs in 2009, and I've also worked
with another relevant installation as a consultant.
I'd be happy to discuss with you if it would be helpful. (You'd also be welcome

(NAS) appliances. There are many advantages over tape:
- More reliable with no tapes to change (or forget to change!) and no
It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but there is a product called
Nomi (pronounced Know Me) that seems pretty cool. They use pings off
smartphones to measure people coming in, how longs they stay, if they come
back, etc.
